good morning. it's thursday, january 24th, 2013. welcome to "cbs this morning." bone-chilling cold moves east, freezing tens of millions. tears and rage from secretary of state clinton at the benghazi hearings. will it help or hurt a possible presidential run? for the first time the pentagon gives women the right to serve in combat. and hay, farmers don't have enough and some are going to extremes to get it. but we begin this morning with today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> it's very, very cold. the wind is definitely cutting in to me. >> a brutal cold front freezes

over the northeast. >> windchill advisories in at least a dozen states from north dakota to new england. >> the frigid arctic air mass for schools to close can pose transportation problem. scientists say it dice to strange phenomenon called january. >> something sprang out of that. >> hillary clinton took the hot seat, testifyinging t inabout t deadly terror attack. >> with all due respect, we have four dead americans. sit because of a protest or because four guys walking outside one night decided to kill some americans. what difference at this point does it make? groundbreaking decision in the pentagon. >> women have been fighting and dying and bleeding for this nation in combat has proven that they're fully capable of doing this. apple shares tanked on wednesday. shares fell 10%. that's a loss of about $50

billion. prince harry back on british soil. >> i'm looking to catch up with people behind closed doors if i'm invited. all that -- >> they take out two -- >> against the ball boy. inexcusable, indefensible. >> -- and all that matters -- >> as much as 81% people lie in online dating website. to which manti te'o says, now you tell me. >> -- on "cbs this mrning." >> the controversial rages on on whether beyonce lip synced. >> it's now official. jay-z officially has 100 problems. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." the polar air mass that put temperatures well below zero in the midwest has descended on the northeast. it is making life especially

tough, but thousands of superstorm sandy victims living in damaged homes in new york and new jersey. northern new england is seeing more subzero numbers, and temperatures are below freezing as far south as north carolina. this is what it looks like in boston this morning where it's in the low single digits. further south it's also chilly in new york central park, and that's where we find terrell brown. terrell, good morning. >> reporter: charlie, norah, good morning to you both. yeah, it is a whop 1g 2 degrees here in central park this morning. the temperature is one thing, but as we stand out here, the winds are starting to pick up too. that's the big thing. windchill numbers are expected to be well below zero in some places today. this cold is here. it will likely last through the weekend and today could be the worst of it. >> it's very, very cold. >> reporter: all day new yorkers bundled up against windchill temps that ranged from single digits to below zero. >> i'm kind of cold, but i don't care, man. i'm outside.

i've got to make money, make sure i go home and feed everybody. >> reporter: in fact, it's so cold you can see it. in midtown's bryant park, the centerpiece fountain has morphed into a strangely beautiful ice sculpture. and for those who work outdoors, the cold commute is only the beginning. kelmy rodriguez works as an emt. that means even in the extreme cold, when the call comes in, he heads out, often a dozen times in his eighth-hour shifts. >> it's cold out here. very cold. >> reporter: what's it like for you? >> it's very physical for me. i have to work a little harder, lift up more. my hands start getting numb. >> reporter: cold weather right now, how serious is this? >> it's pretty serious. >> reporter: dr. jeff ray-brich is director of medical emergencies at the hospital. when people work outside, their body temperature may drop dangerously low without even

know it. >> your body starts to trick your mind and you may think you're feeling warm and not shivering but you're already into mild to moderate tocy veer hypothermia, and it may boo too late. >> reporter: you may realize as we stand out here this morning some folks cannot resist getting that morning jog in. we talked to a few doctors yesterday that say it's not a good idea when you sweat out in the frigid air. you get colder faster. charlie, norah? >> terrell, thank you. after a one-month delay clinton finally testified. she was feisty and emotional, and so were her republican critics. margaret brennan is on capitol hill. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, norah, and to charlie. it was the first time that

secretary: t clinton testified she fiercely defended the office she soon will be leaving. in other five hours of testimony, secretary clinton acknowledged failures in security and took ownership of the state department's handling of the attack. >> i take responsibility, and noble is more committed to getting this right. i am determining to leave the state department and our country safer, stronger, and more secure. >>. >> reporter: clinton said she had a personal relationship with ambassador stevens and grew emotional talking about him and three other victims. >> i stood next to president obama as the marines carried those flag draped caskets off the plane at andrews. i put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children. >> reporter: but the secretary told members of the house that she never saw stevens request for more money.

>> at one point 3 million cables come addressed to the department. they to d do not all come to me. >> had i been president at the time and i found that you did not read the cables from benghazi, you did not read the cables from ambassador stevens, i would have relieved you of your post. >> reporter: they accused them of covering up the attacks in the weeks following the assault. >> we were mislead that there were supposedly protests. that was easily ascertained that that was not the fact and the american people would know that within days. >> the fact is we had four dead americans. was it because of a protest or guys out on a walk because they decided to kill americans. what difference at this point does it make? >> reporter: many praised clinton for her testimony.

>> the american people and the families of these four brave americans still have not gotten the answers that they deserve. >> reporter: secretary clinton connected what happened in ben addenda city to the rise of al qaeda in mali and the terror attack in algeria, and she will make what may be her final appearance on capitol hill today to introduce john kerry at his confirmation hearing. he is likely to be asked how he'd address those threats as the next secretary of state. >> mar gren brgaret brennan, th david ig nair shus wrote on this. good morning. >> good morning. >> she answered the questions and asked to put this behind her. >> she gave a good account. it was an intense session. thing on the sound bite we'll remember, secretary clinton asking what difference does it make knowing exactly how this

happened. i think it does make a difference, and the reason is it's clear in hindsight that the united states simply didn't know enough about what was happening in benghazi on the day that these four americans were killed. the intelligence wasn't good, the security wasn't good. the plip low mats failed. there's a deep obligation on the department to do it better. so i think that position will persist. it's got to be fixed. >> the secretary will take responsibility. not only that she'll make sure the recommendations are enacted and that there are four people that have been suspended if not fired. >> i think today at the state department, anybody who tries to shortcut security issues is going to be in trouble. thing the state department in the aftermath of this report and the political firestorm that surrounded it is going to be a different place. i think the issue, charlie, there's a new normal.

secretary clinton was hinting at it. we live in a different world, a lot of responsibilities we had we assumed that local authorities could protect are now vulnerable. what is the united states going to be able do about it? are we going to be able to keep consulates in other places where we're used to having a diplomatic presence but may not be able fro text it? that's one of the takeaways from yesterday's very intense hearings. >> it was intense and we saw the intense conversation who after the hearing told buzzfeed this i think she decided she wu going to describe the four dead americans and use that as a trump card to get out of the question. why that deep conflict there? >> you know, norah, that's an after-the-fact attempt really to belittle the secretary.

watching her responses i thought her responses were genuine, not calculated. they were very emotional in her words. it would be mard to invent that. the republicans may, looking to the future, may want to set down a marker and say to the most likely democratic candidate in 2016, we're going to come after you, and she showed today that she's going to be a tough opponent when she gets attacked. >> david ignatius, good to see you. thanks so much. >> thanks, norah. and defense secretary leon panetta is announcing a historic change today. for soldiers like dawn halfacre who lost her arm in iraq. the new rules reflect the true situation on the ground. >> i was on the front lines every day for five months and, you know, i had 33 people's lives in my hands, and, you know, my job was to do the absolute best job to accomplish our mission but protect my folks, and i never once doubted

sending a female on a mission or, you know, giving them a certain set of responsibilities ever. >> critics say the change could weaken front line forcesle with us now retired general richard myers, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he's a cbs senior military nachlt general, good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> this is a watershed moment for the u.s. military and for our country. how do you think things will change? >> i think what we're going to see is where the processes where the services have to come back by may to talk about what positions that have previously been denied to women, which of those will be opened up. and so i think we're going to see a process. and then they have until 2016 to implement it. i think we're at the beginning of a process to determine what positions should be opens to women, which i think, by the way, is a continuation of a process that started a long time

ago, decades ago to integrate women into more functions in our military. >> i'm glad you mentioned that general. i want to show everyone the number. we have 73,000 active duty women, more than 130 were killed in action in iraq and afghanistan. a lot of women who have served say this ban on women in combat positions is pretty much a legal fiction already. >> well, i think it is, particularly when you don't have front lines. and the conflict with, you know, global jihad, iraq, afghanistan, there are no front lines in your last piece. the embassy is not -- you know, anybody can be on the front line, so women are fighting, they're dying, and they've shown they have a great skills some of as the services look at this, i think the one thing they'll probably look at is not changing training standards to accommodate women. when we brought women fighter pilots into the air force, we

didn't change our training standards and women are totally ceched as part of the crew force and bombers and fighters and so forth. >> is this some way connected to the experience of the women in iraq and afghanistan? >> i think so. and i think one of the complaints that i've -- i'm aware of is that while they're not serving in combat related jobs, they're in combat, and they don't get recognition for that. >> and performing brilliantly. >> and performing brilliantly, absolutely. so let's recognize that and allow them to get the recognition along with what they're already doing. >> so your daughter can grow up to be chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or chairwoman of the joint chiefs of staff. >> my daughters are probably a little bit old, but, yeah, that's the potential. if they watched me, i don't think they'd want to do that, but, yes, that's the potential. it will take time to build.

it takes time from a lieutenant to become chairman, it's a 35- or 36-year deal. this will take time, but you're absolutely right. the controversial plan to limit the size of sugary drinks has hit an unexpected new roadblock. two mayor civil right groups have gone to stop it. jeff glor, good morning. >> good morning to you. not many were surprised to see them oppose it but some were surprised when the spanish deck calculation and the naacp. they said they're doing it not because of race but because of economic fairness. new york city mayor michael bloomberg's plan would but a limit to 16-understand drink in restaurants, sports games, street carts, and movie theaters.

it results in $4.7 billion in annual health care costs. 60% of which is paid by the city. >> our administration refuses to stand on the sidelines while millions of our fellow new yorkers struggle with the health implications of being overweight or obese. >> reporter: but the naacp says the mayor's approach is not right. >> the mayor sometime decided that an issue that is important to him should be just a this way or no hazel dukes is the presid. >> the decision is -- >> people can say what they want to. we are on the side of fairness. >> the lawsuit contents the sugar ban is unfair because it

affects supermarket and convenience stores. >> why do you think the big chains are left out? >> they have political power. >> the city's commissioner did not comment on cram but they did give this statement. the obesity crisis calls for bold action. this regulation will help those suffering from obesity and its health effects. but the naacp says if it really wants to help it would start by joining them at the table. is the mayor talking to you about all this? >> no. >> do you want him to? >> yes. >> the ban, if it goes into effect on schedule, would start on march 12th and would result in $200 fines for anyone not following the rules. charlie, norah? >> very interesting. thank you. apple is bracing for another rough day today after shares tanked wednesday. the company missed wall street's forecast for the third straight quarter and shares fell by 10%.

that's a loss of just only $50 billion. the company posted a profit of $13 billion, selling 28% more iphones and 48% more ipads, but that still didn't meet expectations, and analysts say apple needs new products. >> it is time now to show you some of this morning's headlines around the globe.

street. i wasn't doing anything wrong, and quickly life changed. >> reporter: last summer's shooting oust side the empire state building still haunts 32-year-old chenin duclos. she was one of nine by staernds wounded by police gunfire in broad daylight on one of the city's busiest streets. the officers were targeting a man who had just shot and killed his coworker nearby. duclo was hit in the hip. she's now seeking specified damages from the city. her lawsuit charges that the officers failed to follow and exercise proper police tactics and procedures and that they escalated the situation into a dangerous and deadly confrontation. >> i feel bad they were in that situation, too, that they have to make those choices so quickly and rapidly, but we count on them for that. >> reporter: wednesday, new york city police commissioner ray kelly responded to the lawsuit.

>> it's certainly unfortunate this this woman and other people were struck, but i don't see any reason for recourse. >> reporter: amy marion is one of duclos' attorneys. >> they didn't say let us know what you need, help with medical bills, anything, we'll assist you. none of that was done. >> reporter: duclos is now undergoing therapy on a weekly basis. >> there needs to be some change. hopefully it doesn't happen again. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," michelle miller, new york. senior correspondent john mill eric former nypd ben tut commissioner is here along with rick ri rikki klieman. the complaint charges that these officers failed to follow proper tactics. how do you see it? >> i think the way i see it, the

way anybody in the new york city police department would see it, the way the highest court in new york state would see it, and they've gone on record saying a police officer reacting, making split-second decisions, for instance, when somebody murders somebody on the street as in this case and then pulls out a gun and points it and attempts to fire the gun at that officers, when they're making those split second decisions, it's very hard if not totally unfair to try to second-guess that with the would a, could a, shoulda might have done. >> rikki, how do you see it? >> i think you can see both sides. i think the side john advocates which is the side my husband would advocate is, look, these police officers did the right thing under the right circumstances. circumstances were very stressful. on the other hand, this is a well written, well thought out complaint by a very good lawyer who has a history of looking at civil rights violations on the

part of police officers and corrections officers. she says these police officers did 19 separate acts of negligence, and then she says that their training had 16 points that were also negligent. so this is not just some let's say the police are negligent. she's going to show how they were negligent. ultimately this case will settle. >> we are in complete conflict, although we're still best friends. >> and you work for her husband. >> that's true. >> let me challenge you on that. >> sure. >> as rikki points out, this is a pretty good complaint. they've got a good lawyer and this suit talks about the rand program. it says the plievs were not trained in the recommended way, using more tasers. why hasn't the nypd recognized

that? >> i think someone who use as taser on you after someone's murdered someone on the street is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. the rand corporation lives out on a lovely beach where they can think big thoughts with big money. the fact is when you're on the streets and somebody's pulled a weapon on you, you've been 104 hours in the academy, firearms training, 64 of those tactics alone. >> you don't have any sympathy for the victims? >> we have to separate them. we need to help her by giving damage but to get there by claiming gross negligence on the part of two police officers confronted by a man with a gun. >> how the police respond and how much time they had to respond, right? >> the issue is quite clear on that. you can't question cops on split-second decisions if they're basically doing what they're supposed to do. rikki. >> you cannot but you can train them in supervision.

what the plaintiff is going to d is get another expert to say in another police department in an urban area where you have a live shooter what is the appropriate training and i guarantee you that this lawyer is going to find a good kpertd to say that in light of the rand corporation study that the training should have been changed. remember this, these two officers, who are not bad people, who are not bad guys, who really did a good thing by killing the shooter, ultimately these two officers are from the 416th precinct from the bronx. they may react faster, the plaintiff says, when they're doing a detail around the empire state building. they're used to a different kind of workplace. >> i think when you have a complaint, the challenge is the training. you have to look at the bigger picture, which is the statistics show that new york city police officers fire their weapons less than any other police department in any other major city statistically. the statistics also show when

new york city police officers fire their weapons, they fire their weapons fewer tombs in each incident. >> one last point. she suggested a settlement should happen in the case? >> i think it should have happened in the first 950 days. the city should have stepped up and done the right thing rather than put these cops in this position. >> thanks you, john, thank you, rikki. making hay over stealing hay. there is a shortage of it these days and that has created the latest crime wave but sit worth it and how can they stop it? that eating next on "cbs this morning." kids...

they'll tell you exactly what they're thinking... especially my niece. the moment she pointed out my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis... well, it was really embarrassing. so i had a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as

america's farmers and ranchers have a long history with dealing with cattle rustling, but now they're losing another staple, hay. why something so common has become a target of criminals. >> reporter: every day texas farmer james lockridge puts out a hundred bales of hay to feed his 3,000 cows. the drought has made that a challenge. >> we don't have any grass, and it's getting dryer. there's nothing but dirt here, so if the cow can't get a hay build to eat, they're going to literally go out there and starve too death. >> reporter: hay is a precious commodity for farmers to feed their own cattle and thieves looking to make a quick buck. over the last year, lockridge says he's had 200 bale of hay stolen, a $100,000 loss. it goes beyond lockridge's land.

in several states the drought has scorched grass creating a hay shortage and driving up prices. figures from the u.s. department of agriculture shows the price of hay has nearly doubled in the last two years. hay production is at its lowest level since 1964, and hay brokers like tom baer in colorado struggle to meet demand. >> we get a lot of rain this spring, if we get good moisture, the hay situation could turn around just immediately. if we don't, it could be a real severe crisis. >> reporter: making problem worse, it's difficult to catch the crooks. one reason it's hard to track athieves is that one hay bale looks just like the rest. so one sheriff in oklahoma came up with a unique solution. for tillman county sheriff bobby whittington, it was more than finding the proverbial needle. it was finding the hay stack itself. >> reporter: this is what you put into that. >> yes, this whole case.
